HIS cAsE REoPKNED-A STORY THAT HE HAD con-
FEssKD DENIED BY HIM

HIS CASE REOPENED-A STORY THAT HE HAD Gun
FEssED DENIED BY HIM
As result of the statement OF NJ. W. Ford. the
athlete that his case had not been fairly tried and that
certain offers we're made TO him. another examination
of the charges that he competed TOR money at Spring
field Mass, has been begun. The three members OF
the Executive Committee, Walton Storms, of the Man
hattans; J. e. Sullivan, of the Pastimes and w. u
Rowland of the Staten Islanl Athletic Club went to
Springfield with Ford on Thursday. Messrs. Sullivan
and Storms returned yesterday and were present at
the Manhattan Athletic Clubs games in the afternoon
Mr. Rowland remained in Springfield, but as the next
hearing on the case will be at the knckerbocker Cot
tage tomorrow evening he will return tonight The
evidence that Ford wanted the committee to go TO
Massachusetts for was that OF the barber, george
ia charged with having taken part IN under the name
of T. Williams Hammel stated positively that ne 1lu
compete and that he cashed his prize himself and i've
weliknown residents of Springfield are willing TO
swear that they have known Hamme for two years
or more, and that did compete rs he says they al
saw though, that Hammel competed under his own
name while the records sh0 that T. Williams Is the
name given the secretary by the mysterious prize
winner. While these gentlemen we're testtyfng Fora
vas pointed out to them and not one recognized NM
Heating a Dan who made affidavit against Ford
was met in a particularly jolly state In Springfield.
He SAID that he was bribed by 4. W. Johnston to
swear as he did and f. J. Hart that j. Bliss who
swore that he saw.Ford compete was at New-Britain
Conn. on the day OF the Springfield games $50
Z A. Brooks, man WHO says that Hamnel did not
rum says that the man who ran as L. Williams com
veted In the pole varlt Ford doesn't pole vault
Brooks and j. Craig both say that Ford looks like T.
Williams but Brooks admits that he did not ace the
high jump and Craig did not witness the 10O-yards
run. -
Things were looking thus losy for Mr. Ford, when
the two committeeman who came back were nstounded
with the intelligence impaired to them by prominent
amsteur athlete that Ford had made full confession
TO an uI town sporting man. One OF the committee
tbe amateur mentioned and n TRIBUNE reporter
started to get the sporting mans statement. Ford
himself was met on the elevated railroad steps four
blocks from the house OF the man he was SAID TO nave
confessed to- and he denied the story empnatically
No statement for publication could be got from the
gentleman, who with his wife is SAID to have heard
the exact facts OF the case.

SHOULD AMERICA HAyE ~ AMBASS4DORf

A letter from London throws some light upOn the

Our highest diplomatic appointment Is that OF Minister

have fourteen grades the next ia rank being Minis
ters- Resident ana C0nsuls-Genera. Tie English Gov
ernment has but four Ambassadors, representing the
sovereign at the Courts OF France. Austria Russia
anu Turkey. At the Congress OF Vienna in 1919 ths
Great Pc made the first class OF diplomatic agents
to consist OF Ambassadors and Legaees or Nuneios;
and the second of ENJOYS, Ministers and other agents
accredited to sOvereigns. In the strict diplomatic
this country has never sent person Of the rank
OF Ambassador TO any court At present SIX Powers
send Ambassadors TO the Court OF st. James-viZ.:
Germany, France. Austria, Russia. Italy and Turkey.
The United States SENDS Minister, and occupies
second-fdde rank at that court.
Tho distinction in matters of etiquette between the
Ambassador and the Minister is a Notifying one 30

Mrs. Phelps has asserted claim, regardless OF eti

though it involved public act OF humiliation TO which
few ladies would to expose themselves Had tina

1t is n natural question to ask, Why should the rep

have precedence over iti What profit purpose Is
there in thus lowering our diplomatic standing
What object is gained by 1t Ii Austria can send an
Ambassador TO England why not tie United States,
and il England can send an Ambs ssador to Austria
why should she not send here instead OF sending

State Department to insist upon equal diplomatic
representation and equal privilege and precedence and
10 create the Office OF Ambassador with salary and
everything else il implies Or does the distinction
hold that Ambassador can only represent per-
